It was the second time I attended a figure skating event, and the first gala! It was a great show!! Also it will aired in tv so it will be more interesting to watch it twice:)
Since I knew Plushenko was there I thought to prepare a CD whit my video-montages and I was hoping to give it to him..Mission Impossible..

Before going to the show I meet whit some friends I know from the Italian  board. I the afternoon We went to the palace where the show was and we at first wrong and entered from the second entrance..that is the entrance of the skaters and so on Before going away there was a pullmann and  I recognized Lambiel inside whit his mum

After a couple of hours we were outside the palace waiting to enter ; At a certain point I just turn around and between the people I see Carolina Kostner! I knew she got injuried so she couldn’t skate but we knew she was present at the show for a sponsor.
It seems only me recognized her LOL Infact me and another girl approached her. I got my pic whit her and also shoke her hand and told her my name and about my fan-site. I was quite nervous and didn’t expected at all to meet her there at the entrance so I couldn’t say more. She’s very lovely in person and very shy and delicate, but actually she didn’t walk good because of the injuryshe looked to me like a china doll LOL  her skin was so delicate!
Mission Possible 1

There was a lot of people waiting to enter the palace, so that’s why the show started later !

I must say that watching a figure skating show live make me appreciate more the skater I usually don’t follow in tv Infact I think Fusarpoli&Margaglio were good to be ice-dancer LOL and Margaglio live is really handsome    the second program was on cowboys outfit and music, it was funny because at the beginning of the exhibition they looked into each-other eyes… the same way after their fall at the Olympics LOL
Silvia Fontana is really beautiful, but I must say her skating is no more so tecnic, few jumps and many hip moves LOL

Unfortunately Irina couldn’t be there because of the flu

The most impressive skaters: Victor Petrenko did a great perfomance , whit many jumps ( and he’s no more a young!) very funny the second number on music Mambo Number 5, whit a doll he pretended to be an ice dance couple.extraordinary! How did he menage to to execute those jumps you with that thing attacket to his body?LOL!


The 2 pairs skaters form Cezh, were great too, they skated to “unchained melody” and we all went  “awwwwwww” LOL very romantic. Second one was “Hey Bay _(uh ah, I wann know if you be my girl LOL) they did very dangerous element and lifts,we got scared because in the moment he took her by the feet and make her turning , for a moment we really though she could touch the ice! Uuh! What a shiver, in the end he kissed her forehead LOL so it wasn’t only a wrong impression LOL

Candeloro! I’ve always seen his Musketers (D’artagnan) program in tv and always heard people talking about him as a great entertainer , show-man and that he keeps searching the crowd contact,  well it’s really so!! His first exhibition was just the Musketers! And he keeped gazing to the crowd. The second number was on music by Ricki Martin, very energetic, he invited us to clap hands and we did ,he also did a mini streap-tease the crowd loved him! And expecially ladies

The 2 ukranians acrobats, were really great! funny and entertaining,they have a lot of fantasy to create programs like those! :Dgreat response form the crowd. They pretended to be swimmers and of basket players , the second was the hilarious swan-parody

Grushina&Guncharov were awarded by Carolina as the most elegant skaters, I can agree, but it was boring to see again them skating to Adagio! LOL

Lambiel: first program was on a rock song(New Shoes -the tilte). Brillant, because Stephane really enjoyed doing his performance, he keeped on smiling to the crowd, this guy has a so open smile! when he skates, it brings you in a different world indeed!! He was enjoyng his skating so much that he even sang the song (he usually does itcute) and then he lost the concentration and fall 2 times LOL in a jump and then on the step sequence !! LOL but it doesn’t matter, because the involvement and the SIMPATY makes you forgive him anything LOL young girls are crazy for Stephane
The second exhibition was his last 2005-LP  (Vivaldi) I finally could see the zebra-costume live ... well is not so bad LOL even this exhibiton was great, I forgot to mention the spins that are fabulos and fast! He also did good 3 jumps, but the rink was really too little to prentend more!


Totmianina&Marinin: superb. First program the song by Bocelli, second Colours of the Night. They’re really perfect, so much perfect that sometimes it doesn’t seems real LOL or better when they skate you really feel you’re in a kind of dream, when is over you ask your-self if you really was there . Myabe they should search more for the crowd contact , but I know this is difficult to ask to a pairs couple! even more if the rink is tiny as it was! Tatiana to me got hair colours and extension because her hair are very blond now LOL


Plushenko: what can I say? the crowd went totally crazy for him! (a kid was in front of us and turned whit his scared face towards us because the screams were to alowd, and also we hit the feets on the floor,maybe he thought it was really a quake ) , The speaker announced him as "THE $ILIEGIA ON THE CAKE" ( that is the highlits of the show)LOL first program was Caruso and I didn’t expected, it was a pleaseant surprise , so intense his glance to the crowd!!
The jumps were not perfect, (he keepd on tried to land 3 axel 3 times until he did)
For the second exhibition we were hoping him to skate Sex-Bomb   because the speakers told the second time was going to be explosive LOL but only Candeloro did streap-tease
So it was Tosca. And I really find it difficult to describe the emotion Evgeni gave us. This program starts slowly and then it become an explosion if energy in his step sequence, is something dreagging your attention, you can’t take your eyes out of him, he’s like a panter, all black and then his blond hair floating, there’s no much to say only to feel the emotion. Well   sorry but you I’ve felt for him

So after the show me and the friends who were whit me decided to try to go the extit of the skaters, There is yet a lot of people outside and the Pullman waiting for the skaters The security and bodyguards were strict! Infact Lambiel went ouside encircled by 4 huge bodyguards LOL the strange thing is that to me Lambiee got a really scared face!! Ok, there were some girls screaming his name but the security acted too rigidly ! We heard later the sakters  were attendende at the restourant ( we heard the host of the show saing that—and we tried to ask which restaurant LOL-we didn’t get repnse of course )
Btw Lambiel entered in the pullman and never got outside    only a courageous girl approached him and the bodyguard and got an autograph

So seing Lambiel like that and the security so scaring I hadn’t much hope to give Evgeni my CD or approach him. BTW in the mean time me and other people stay in front of the pullman, and I was just in front of the baggage bus LOL in this moment Maxim Marinin lead his baggage ,in front of me LOL and he had not security around him LOL Myabe because ( I wonder why? )
So I’m in front of Maxim and finally ask “can I take a photo whit you?” he replies “One second” Big smile on my face LOL Maxim first goes away and I see he speaks Russian whit some girls so I don’t approach him suddenly..even because in that moment Plushenko exit…whit bodyguards as well LOL

But this time Evgeni hadn’t a scared as Lambiel LOL Evgeni was quite amused to me Infact he said first “Grazie Grazie Grazie” to allow people make him walk, I try to give him the CD but obviously he doesn’t even watch me LOL
So Plushenko go to the bus and take seat and we think he will never go out ... Me and other people got disappointed .. and a group of person starts yelling “ Plushenko!Plushenko!” calling him ( what is him a rock-star??)  apparently it worked because after few minutes Evgeni appears, in the stairs of the bus, and starts blowing kisses towards us and saing “thank you everybody”  acting like a “divo”   LOL it was very funny! Obviously Evgeni enjoyed the game LOL. I toke a photo when he sent his kisses, ehehe... it seems he was looking into my photocamera!

So after Plushenko’s show, I approach Maxim for the pic, he still was talking whit Russian girls, so I wait a moment. When I ask for the pic the security calls him!! He had to join the bus !! So I give my photocamera to my frinds while Maxim says “ Quick!” we get pose but the camera is not open! OH MY!
Maxim says “Is not open, is not open” . I switch the camera whit a nervous smile , and it become histerical when my friends doesn’t understand that she must hit the button for 3 second to have the photo done LOL btw,Maxim is very tall, and he came closer to me to take the photo, I was scared he wasn’t smiling in the photo, but not LOL after all he was very patient!
But before he runs away I deliver him my CD whit the letter of my friends for Plushy “Can You give this to Plushenko?” and he take it sayng Yes!! Then we saw Maxim entering the bus..we followed him in his way until he reached Plushenko’s seat and delivers him the cd speaking something! ! (who knows what he sayd…”a crazy girl gave me this for you”... )
YES! Mission Possible 2 LOL

In the meantime even Maurizio Margaglio blowed kisses to fans while he reached the bus

Me and my friends were really amused! laughing ,giggling all the time!! To me is very strange because when is about a skater I lost all my shyness LOL I really don’t know what skaters does to me , I turn to a little devil
Poor Maxim!!he really is an angel! Considering how I behaved LOL I hope he didn’t think I had a second scope _ that is to deliver the CD_ because I really wanted the pic whit him LOL

After Maxim enter the bus we think they should move, but is not so because Plushenko again make an appearance!! LOL this time I was more closer and I manage to say  “ The CD is mine!!” I don’t know if he hard me because he was speaking russian whit the girls haed of me
BTW at this point of the evening I feel so “drunk”, I don’t care about anything but that I’m happy

Finally the bus starts to move and the security yells at us to go away, and that we must follow the bus because the big exit is closed. LOL We don’t believe them :lol:and we turn back to the streets where we came from. But before ,we turn again our eyes and we see Plushenko going out of the bus and entering a taxi!! We look into each other eyes..but in the end we behave well and walk towards the opposite direction…but we noticed the door is closed indeed like the security man said!! LOL
We run back again, but now is really late, there is no bus,no taxi LOL

It was a great night, before the show and expecially after ! to me it was like turning a teenager

I hope I will attend a figure skating event soon !

I quote what Maxim said here  of european crwod becouse it resume what I felt attending this show

so true!

On Sunday I got to meet my friend Isa in Milano    we went in the center of the town, for a a sightseing , We spent a nice time together  
I hope you enjoyed my crazy history
PS. I left into the CD my e-mail even if I don’t think Plush will ever reply me LOL:P I just hope he will watch one of those montages and think, which jenious made this??
